How many photographs are you able to display in a picture frame? Imagine being able to take photographs with your digital camera and have your photos framed in a matter of minutes.

Remember the old standard way of purchasing a "ready made" picture frame for your photos? Perhaps ordering a "custom made" frame for your special portraits?

There are new photo frames on the market now. They have taken the old standard type of photo frame to the next level…a digital level.

How does it work? Take the memory card out of your digital camera and insert it into the back of the photo frame. Presenting…a slide show of all your digital images. Oh, the ever-advancing digital era! It seems to be a simple yet very unique idea. The images are taken directly off your memory card.

Another cool feature on most digital photo frames is the MP3 capability. Imagine that. Listening to your favorite music and watching a slide show of your photos is one of the best, latest ideas to come along in digital photography. Most frames also have digital video capability.

Now the author of this article understands the need for some minor adaptors and hookups to these digital photo frames…but a remote control for file navigation and display settings is really remarkable.

A minor drawback to these digital photo frames is the absence of internal memory. It plays off your memory card only and you cannot separate your favorite photos from the collection on your card.

What a unique way of displaying your photos without having to load them into the computer to edit them, or to view them thru the tiny LCD screen on the back of your digital camera.
